Looks like $8.16 to me for 13.5% protein after average Mb deduction of $1.48/bu

Its $8.24/bu in Bottineau for the same protein without factoring in currency.

So by outperform what you mean is underperform.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

9.64 minus 1.60 for freight and elevation equals 8.04.


Yep, the cwb still stealing at least 30 cents a bushel compared to american pricing.

and it costs less than .30 to truck to bottineau FANTASTIC

[Fransisco]

No need to start the truck stubble, in an open market the price would come to you. Its called "arbitrage".

Just think what the price would be without a single desk buying that we give to all CWB customers.

You've got to love the "open market" and the fact that it comes right to your door Francisco. How come then that Canadian fed cattle bring the US fed cattle price less the cost of getting them to the US, less a discount for them not being American. Of course none of that would apply to you guys if you had a "free market" in grain, you'd get the top US price right in your yard every time with no trucking and no discounts - in your dreams at least.

And flexpro is available on how many tonnes this year? What percent of total wheat sales is that Timm? And does everyone get the guaranteed highest price of the year? Initial price on the pool accounts is?

Grassfarmer, thanks for sticking your grass fed beef nose into something you have no knowledge or experience in. Just because the NFU thinks the wheat board is a good idea doesn't mean it is so. I eagerly await the day that you start your own mandatory marketing board for all your cowboy friends out there. Funny how most of us who run cattle and grain don't want any part of a board running our products. I am guessing by your posts that you would have no problem selling some of your home raised, grass fed beef for say 25 cents a pound today and then your customers would pay you the rest every now and then for another year and a half? If this sounds agreeable I will be over next week for a taste test to see if your grass fed beef is any better than what I have had in the past.
